For four seasons, the Pittsburgh Steelers had to gameplan around Patrick Queen. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the Baltimore Ravens. There, he developed into one of the better linebackers in the league. His rookie contract expired after the 2023 season, and Queen ended up signing with the Steelers.
The Steelers and Ravens have arguably the most spirited rivalry in the NFL. Given that, it’s interesting when a player moves from one team to the other. For Queen, there are many reasons why he might have some extra motivation on Saturday. Week 16’s matchup between the two sides has massive ramifications for the AFC North.
